This year I'm much better than I was one year ago before I bought your Trading Market Internals course. This was for me very, very important to improve myself. I'm more confident in trading, especially in trading stock indexes, because of Better Trading Academy.

“Learning how to properly assess the cluster analysis and walk forward report was the most important. I have much more confidence in what I'm doing now.”

“Immediately after applying just the time filters from the ‘Smashing False Breakouts’ course, I achieved an absolutely massive improvement.”

"The scope and content of the course is impressive. The support is prompt and detailed. All in all, an excellent package!"

"I finished the masterclass in a few days. It is an excellent course and I wished I had that at the beginning of my trading adventure. I was impressed with how generous Tomas is with the know-how he passes on. I think anyone who trades mechanically will find lots of gems. Most of the traders don't have that level of automation and will be amazed to get a full methodology."

ThomasBreakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"I am already amazed about the concept/ideas presented in the introduction. I always filtered the trades completely out instead of simply down or upsizing them based on the probability. Already that one is simply great, especially to prevent curve fitting and still being in the game also on bad days!"

"Thanks everyone for all the tips, and big thanks to Tomas & Andrew for getting this info out. I cannot imagine how much time (and money) these courses have saved me. Up until this point I had assumed a 10-year optimization (with 20% OOS) followed by a SWFA was adequate robustness testing to start trading a strategy live."

NathanBreakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"The Breakout Strategies Masterclass has without a doubt been a great investment for me already. I took the course in the second half of 2017 and my results have improved substantially... I’ve read literally hundreds of books and took many courses on the markets and most of them failed to teach me a robust way to trade... Thank you Tomas for another great course."

“I was skeptical by booking this course. But 'Build e-mini breakout strategies fast' really opened my mind on how it could be possible to build a robust strategy and survive this game.”
